What legal challenges has the Tump campaign actually made? As far as I can tell all they've managed to dig up is "we're not 100% sure this was fair".
Okay, this is just getting silly now... https://nationalfile.com/exclusive-...ts-of-congratulations-for-trumps-re-election/ Checked the image myself, from the original Twitter post: it's true. Blimey.
There's a summary here: https://news.sky.com/story/us-elect...eground-legal-challenges-will-he-win-12124666 As it stands most think the claims won't get anywhere and those that might won't turn it. In particular even if PA is deemed to go to Trump, the results in Nevada and Arizona should secure Biden the 270 electoral college votes required. What is perhaps concerning is Barr's willingness to go after any claim. The electoral college is due to vote on December 14th so that's the deadline they seem to be working toward.
While I agree that the whole Barr / DoJ thing is concerning, this is one thing where the hyper conservative Supreme Court (if it ever went there) is likely to defy Trump and side with the age old logic that the elections should be run by the individual states. Basically in the longer term Barr may have shot himself in the foot. And just a random funny, even Fox News couldn't stomach the lies coming from Team Orange anymore...

In my defence, I was undercaffeinated at the time of posting. In other news, I understand someone has recreated the car park of Four Seasons Total Landscaping as a room in VRchat.
Having the AG order an investigation will probably ensure a report emerges saying the result was fine. The point of all this is to claim a stolen election and he can stomp off to set up TrumpTV that will no doubt make Brietbart look a bit moderate.
Yes Pompeo, the world is watching. The world is watching Trump get debt money off supporters and attempt an illegal despotic power grab.
Pompeo is shaking his head and laughing as he says it... if that's not a tell that he doesn't belive it either, i'm not sure what is.
That's how this whole thing started, 4chan, proud boys, all with bombastic irony to give them cover if they didn't do it but a flag in the sand for anyone who would.
In some states they could hypothetically try: https://www.fairvote.org/faithless_elector_state_laws Except in several of the states that don't have laws against electors voting the wrong way Trump won anyway...
There is such a thing as faithless electors, where the EC electors vote for whatever the hell they feel like rather than what the state['s electorate] instructs them to vote for. But if Biden secures 306 EC votes/pledges, as he could well do, but that would require there there be both enough EC electors to take the bung to vote for Trump [or against Biden] that them doing so would swing the final result and be in states that don't have the ability to invalidate faithless electoral college votes.
